Fun chat with @APompliano - check it out…
I sat down with the Sacramento Kings co-owner @thatchriskelly.
We discuss why he owns bitcoin, how sports teams and bitcoin both work as scarce assets, Meta's big AI bets, and where AI and crypto are converging.
We also discuss Sports One, his new venture bringing minority sports team stakes to the public markets.

This decision has massive implications, and it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is. Replacing commissioners at the EAC is not something that can be done by executive fiat. And we’re currently…commissioner-less.

This was the most brutal insult Steve Jobs ever received:
In 1997, a man publicly insulted Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference in front of thousands.
Jobs' response changed Silicon Valley forever..
Here's what happened (and how this defined his legacy forever):🧵

Sitting at a table of male election officials who don’t know I speak French and understand every word they said about women not deserving the right to vote.
I think I’m going to go drown my sorrows in coffee cake.

1/ It took me three tries to register to vote in Texas. I set out to look into the root of the problem. I found that Texas’ paper-based system leaves too much room for error, in some cases disenfranchising voters.
